Fifty-six ladies were treated to a most enjoyable morning on Saturday, June 19th, when St. Catherine’s Altar Society held their annual Guest Day at the Church hall. President Ondrea McConville welcomed the ladies and called on them to share where they were from. Responses were heard from towns including Bartley, Cambridge, McCook, Danbury, Herndon, Indianola, as well as the states of Nevada, Florida and New York. Ondrea then introduced the guest speaker, Marylou Luther of Cambridge/New York City. Marylou was raised in Cambridge and has lived much of her life in New York City. She has enjoyed a long career as a fashion journalist, syndicated newspaper columnist, essayist and blogger. Also, she is currently writing a book to be released this coming February. Marylou spoke on “My 10 Most Outstanding Fashion Moments”. She told of how her career began and of her associations with well-known international fashion designers. Following her scripted talk, she told of her parents, Walter and Zola Luther and their businesses in Cambridge. She also told about her brother, Walt (Butch) Luther, a Cambridge High School graduate, who was on the Nebraska football team that played in the Rose Bowl in 1941. Butch was killed in action in WWII. Marylou answered several more questions from the guests, then the ladies were treated to a delicious luncheon. The menu included sliders and a salad and dessert bar. Names were drawn for door prizes. Following the luncheon, the ladies enjoyed visiting, posing with the vintage hats, and taking photos. In keeping with the speaker’s topic, decorations were based on “fashion”. Vintage jewelry and hats, along with bud vases of flowers graced each table. Flower swags, vintage patterns, more vintage hats, and colorful crochet covered hangers adorned a rack on one side of the room. Barb Tines and her sister, Carol Blake, provided the luncheon entrée. They also gathered and engineered the placement of all the decorations. The covered hangers were made by Myrna Haag and given as favors to each of the guests. Salads and desserts were provided by Altar Society members.

We were needing rain and a beautiful rain we got Saturday night. The gauge here on The Hill showed 1.28” and it couldn’t have come any nicer. It sure made things look bright and clean. Sunday night brought another .08”
